The years I was in the human world

"Hmm?" What Lu Zhouxue wanted to ask was why Xiao Fengzhuo said that, and how much he knew about what happened that year.

"Everything you and I have seen now is a replay of the past, and the time period we are replaying is exactly related to the initial collaboration of the three parties to create the God." Xiao Fengzhuo knew what Lu Zhouxue wanted to ask, so he did not keep her in suspense and explained directly, "Hasn't Mianmian ever been curious? No matter how mysterious the old king of the Undying Country was, it was just an illusory legend. Why have so many cultivators flocked to it for so many years?"

"About 150 years ago, a secret realm appeared in Phoenix Ridge, Qishan. It was there that Lin Xiyang obtained the Phoenix Tempering. These things are all recorded in Shiqu Pavilion, so I won't go into details. What I want to talk about is another thing found in the secret realm of Phoenix Ridge."

"At that time, the demon tribe was in the process of power transfer, and Qi Nankuo's position was unstable. In order to help him stabilize the throne, I led people to fight for the resources in the Phoenix Ridge Secret Realm, so I know what happened at that time." Xiao Fengzhuo said, rummaging around in the ring, and no one knew what he was looking for. "There is a broken mirror in the secret realm. At that time, everyone who entered the secret realm saw an image of a god on it."

"Because the broken mirror is so broken, the image is also incomplete. Although we can only glimpse half of the god's clothes, it is enough. The broken mirror shows that the god once came to the world to bless the world, and then fell to the southwest, and his body hid under the capital of the Immortal Kingdom." Xiao Fengzhuo found what he wanted, and handed a piece of the mirror to Lu Zhouxue. He continued to explain, "This is the reason why there has been an endless stream of monks coming and going to the capital of the Immortal Kingdom for a hundred years."

"Everyone wants to find the body of the god in order to reopen the road to the God Realm." Lu Zhouxue sneered, took the mirror fragment handed over by Xiao Fengzhuo and examined it carefully, "But no one has ever thought about why the God Realm is not open--"

Lu Zhouxue's words came to an abrupt halt, his eyes slightly widened in surprise, because the mirror fragment handed by Xiao Fengzhuo was not any magic weapon, but actually a fragment of the Beihong Mirror. The Beihong Mirror recorded all the affairs of humans and gods, so it didn't seem surprising that the fragment could see the past events of the decline of the Gods.

But how could this thing appear here? What about the god who fell in the southwest? It was clear that Xiao Yueheng was the only one who died because of the Wuxiang people, but Xiao Yueheng was turned to ashes and not even his body was left. Who is the so-called god corpse under the old capital of the Undying Country?

"If it is just the location of the body of the god, it has nothing to do with the three parties' plan to create a god." Xiao Fengzhuo noticed the flash of surprise in Lu Zhouxue's eyes. A hint of smile flashed across his eyes, and he continued calmly, "I was summoned back to the royal court this time, and learned something from a very good friend of mine."

"Back then, there was a hint left at Phoenix Ridge. There is an incomplete immortal formation under the old capital of the Immortal Nation. If it can be completed, the dead can be resurrected and the living can live forever." Xiao Fengzhuo didn't know these things at first. It was Xiao Jin who told him after he found out about Wu Xian's past. But when Lin Xiyang got into trouble and his demon pill was dissected, they were all events that happened before and after. When he connected them together, he seemed to be able to guess some of the truth.

"The formation should not be complete yet, otherwise there would be no plan to create a god." Xiao Fengzhuo looked at Lu Zhouxue, "The immortal formation is incomplete. What you and I saw just now are souls that have not yet been fully resurrected. There may also be souls that were sacrificed to complete the formation. They are all neither alive nor dead, trapped in the old capital."

"Using such immoral means, how can you ensure immortality even if the formation is complete?" Lu Zhouxue shook his head. The world of cultivation is governed by the Way of Heaven. The cycle of life and death is the law of the Way of Heaven. The fact that cultivators go against the will of Heaven is the result of the Heaven's special tolerance. Seeking immortality in vain is a challenge to the authority of the Way of Heaven, and the plan of the immortal formation will fail.

"Who knows." Xiao Fengzhuo shrugged. "Maybe they don't care. After all, those who seek immortality only care about this life. They only want to achieve immortality. Their good deeds after death are actually irrelevant. They are just like the prostitutes who seek pleasure in Chunfeng Tower. They indulge in sensual pleasures while they are alive and only care about today, not tomorrow."

"Chunfeng Tower?" Lu Zhouxue suddenly remembered the so-called "Chunfeng Tower's top girl" that Xiao Fengzhuo had said casually when they were in Dongshan. He had heard it but didn't take it seriously at the time, but now he understood it. Lu Zhouxue opened the window of the room, took a look outside, and then turned back and teased, "No wonder Ah Zhuo once boasted that she was the top girl in Chunfeng Tower. Compared with these mediocre girls outside, Ah Zhuo is indeed stunning."

Xiao Fengzhuo: “…” Oh no, he has completely led Lu Zhouxue astray and she even starts to tease him.

As the two were talking, there was a knock on the door. Lu Zhouxue was standing next to the door and opened it. The young man who had led the way earlier came to bring them something.

Seeing that both of them were well dressed and hadn't gotten down to business yet, the young man was a little surprised. He put the things on the table inside and took the courage to glance at Lu Zhouxue when he left. The latter was leaning against the door with her arms folded. Her slightly bulging belly was not obvious under the cover of her clothes because of the Heartbreak Gu. Her silver-white hair flowed to her waist. She stood there as white as frost and snow. She was truly stunningly beautiful, but it was a pity that she was also someone else's favorite.

The boy retreated. Lu Zhouxue looked at the ropes, whips, and a pile of bottles and jars and frowned: "What are these for?"

As he was about to reach out to take them, Xiao Fengzhuo quickly threw all the things under the bed. He smiled and pushed Lu Zhouxue's shoulder to distract him from those things: "Don't be curious about everything."

Lu Zhou Xuexin said he was not a child anymore, what was there to be afraid of? Just as he was nagging, a gentle and moving singing voice came in through the door. The singer should be a young man with a clear voice and a beautiful song. The two who were bickering stopped what they were doing, opened the window and looked out, and found that they were not the only ones doing this. Other prostitutes stood outside the door and stared at the person singing on the stage.

"Let me ask what's going on." After Xiao Fengzhuo finished speaking, he pulled a waiter over and asked what was going on. The waiter had just finished, his face was flushed, and he was breathing heavily when he spoke. His voice was so delicate that even Lu Zhouxue couldn't help but look sideways.

"That's our Chunfenglou's top prostitute, and her virginity is being auctioned today."

As soon as the waiter finished speaking, the singing stopped, and then the price started to be raised. The two of them were in the room and could not see the situation below clearly. Xiao Fengzhuo used the spirit stone to send away the waiter who was pulled over for questioning, and turned to Lu Zhouxue and said, "Mianmian, do you want to go and take a look?"

"What are you looking at? Are you looking at who is more beautiful, the top girl in Chunfeng Tower or you?" Lu Zhouxue raised her eyebrows, but finally followed Xiao Fengzhuo out.

Standing on the stage below was just a teenager, about the same age as Wei Ruge, with a slender but not frail figure, clear lines and a face as pure as jade. He was only wearing a gauze dress, with his long black hair tied up, looking very young and handsome, with a contradictory beauty. He was the type that most male-friendly clients were fascinated by, no wonder he was the top prostitute.

"Gongsun Wuyin?" Although he was still immature compared to the enchanting ghost they saw in Dongshan, and his brows showed a refusal to accept his fate of falling into prostitution, Lu Zhouxue still recognized the boy. He was indeed the ghost who had sex with others so casually.

In just a few moments, the first night of the top prostitute in Chunfenglou was snapped up by someone. Seeing the buyer's appearance, Xiao Fengzhuo smiled. He raised his eyebrows and said with interest, "Ling Zhong? That old man is really good at playing."

"Hmm?" Hearing Xiao Fengzhuo's words, Lu Zhouxue thought of the white-bearded old monk he saw when he first descended to Zhongting. He then looked at the young man who looked like a water onion. Suddenly, he felt a chill. He followed Xiao Fengzhuo's gaze, but was unexpectedly stunned. It was not the scene he had imagined that was difficult to look at.

Gongsun Wuyin was brought to Ling Zhong with his hands tied. The monk, who was dressed simply, immediately took off his outer robe and wrapped the boy's almost naked body. At this moment, Ling Zhong was not at all as old as Lu Zhouxue saw him later. On the contrary, he looked very young, with handsome features. The plain monk's robe did not diminish his demeanor in the slightest, but made him look even more cold and holy, which was out of place in the Chunfeng Tower, where people were indulged in debauchery.

"He--" Lu Zhouxue's words got stuck in his throat and he frowned. Ling Zhong's face was hidden in the heavy curtains and he couldn't see it clearly. He just felt vaguely that when the side profile turned away, it looked very familiar for a moment.

"Why did he suddenly look so old? Is that what Mianmian wants to ask?" Lu Zhouxue didn't ask, Xiao Fengzhuo completed the question for him. Although the former was more puzzled by the familiarity of Ling Zhong's face, the latter's words also puzzled him. Cultivators are against the will of heaven. As their cultivation increases, their life span will naturally increase, and their appearance will also change.

Although Ling Zhong's cultivation is not as good as Baili Changqing's, he is still one of the best masters. Gongsun Wuyin has been a ghost for no more than two hundred years. After two hundred years in the human world, how could Ling Zhong become so dying?

"It's not just Ling Zhong who has suddenly aged. So has Master Ming Jing, Baili Changqing, and the Demon King Qi Nankuo. They are all my juniors, with higher cultivation than me, and each of them looks older than me." Xiao Fengzhuo was quite proud when he said this. According to what he said, he was clearly an old demon who was older than Master Ling Zhong, but at this moment he was as childish as a teenager in his teens or twenties.

Lu Zhouxue glanced at him and said in an ambiguous way, "Azhuo is quite proud."

"I'm older than them, but look younger than them, so why shouldn't I be proud?" Xiao Fengzhuo asked with a smile, his words hinting at taking advantage of his age. "On the contrary, Mianmian always beats and scolds me, and doesn't even know how to respect an old man."

"I think you are disrespectful to your elders." Lu Zhouxue snorted. After a moment, he straightened his expression and said seriously, "They are your juniors, so why is your cultivation far inferior to theirs?"

Baili Changqing is already in the late stage of Tribulation Crossing, with the cultivation level of half a step into Divine Transformation. Gu Yin has reached Heti, Master Ling Zhong and Venerable Mingjing are slightly inferior, with the cultivation level of late stage of Refining Void. Xiao Fengzhuo is clearly better than all of them, but he is still only at the Nascent Soul stage, even though Xiao Fengzhuo seems to be only one realm away from them.

The life span of a cultivator increases with his cultivation level. With Xiao Fengzhuo's Nascent Soul level, he would not be able to live that long. Moreover, those masters with higher cultivation levels than him have aged, but he is still young. This is very abnormal in itself.

"I'm just a mediocre person with ordinary talent. How can I compare with them?" Xiao Fengzhuo still used the excuse of mediocre talent.

"I'm not a fool." Lu Zhouxue interrupted. He looked at Xiao Fengzhuo calmly without any aggressive intention. He just said worriedly and earnestly, "Azhuo, I want to know you."

With just one sentence, all the words Xiao Fengzhuo had prepared to deal with him were aborted. Xiao Fengzhuo put aside his past cynicism and for the first time carefully and seriously examined Lu Zhouxue. Then he scratched his hair in distress and said, "There's nothing to know. It's all in the past."

Xiao Fengzhuo really likes Lu Zhouxue, he admitted it in front of Xiao Jin, so this is beyond doubt. But this kind of liking has nothing to do with love, if you use a metaphor, it is like a master treating his pet, of course this does not mean that Xiao Fengzhuo treats Lu Zhouxue as a plaything, Lu Zhouxue is unique to him, he is willing to spoil him, tease him from time to time, if someone bullies him, he will bully back.

Just like a dog owner who loves his puppy so much that he would not let his puppy go hungry even if he could not afford to eat. If the puppy was gone, he would cry bitterly and feel lost every day that followed when the puppy was gone. However, he would not inflict his suffering on the puppy, even though he knew the puppy would not betray him and would even feel sorry for him.

Xiao Fengzhuo felt just like his heart was being licked by a puppy. He was a little happy, but also a little amused. Seeing Lu Zhouxue's sudden depression because of his answer, he jokingly hugged her and patted her shoulder. He finally softened his heart: "Good Mianmian, don't be sad. If you want to know, I'll tell you."

In the past, when Xiao Fengzhuo said this, Lu Zhouxue would just go down the stairs, but today it was different. He raised his head and looked at Xiao Fengzhuo for a while, then sighed softly: "Azhuo, I have no intention of prying into your privacy. If you don't want to tell me, don't force me."

After falling into trouble with Xiao Yueheng, Lu Zhouxue learned to compromise. It was good enough to maintain the status quo. There was no need to ask more questions that should not be asked. Otherwise, what would he do when the show ended?

After Lu Zhouxue finished speaking, he pushed open the door and walked out, supporting his body which was a little heavy due to the growth of the Heartbreak Gu. Xiao Fengzhuo was left alone, staring at his back in a daze. He looked at his hand that was pushed away, frowned, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

"Azhuo, aren't you going to catch up?" Lu Zhouxue walked out and found that Xiao Fengzhuo didn't catch up, so she stopped and turned back to wait for him. There was some confusion in her expression, as if she was asking Xiao Fengzhuo what he was doing standing there.

"Here I come." Facing Lu Zhouxue's cautious eyes, Xiao Fengzhuo's discomfort suddenly turned into heartache. He sighed softly in his heart and thought for no reason, Lu Zhouxue looked so pitiful. If he was not around, how would she be bullied?
